# Chapter 12
|
|
1. "Ephraim feeds on the wind,
|
|
And pursues the east wind;
|
|
He daily increases lies and desolation.
|
|
Also they make a covenant with the Assyrians,
|
|
And oil is carried to Egypt.
|
|
|
|
2. "The Lord also brings a charge against Judah,
|
|
And will punish Jacob according to his ways;
|
|
According to his deeds He will recompense him.
|
|
|
|
3. He took his brother by the heel in the womb,
|
|
And in his strength he struggled with God.
|
|
|
|
4. Yes, he struggled with the Angel and prevailed;
|
|
He wept, and sought favor from Him.
|
|
He found Him in Bethel,
|
|
And there He spoke to us--
|
|
|
|
5. That is, the Lord God of hosts.
|
|
The Lord is His memorable name.
|
|
|
|
6. So you, by the help of your God, return;
|
|
Observe mercy and justice,
|
|
And wait on your God continually.
|
|
|
|
7. "A cunning Canaanite!
|
|
Deceitful scales are in his hand;
|
|
He loves to oppress.
|
|
|
|
8. And Ephraim said,
|
|
'Surely I have become rich,
|
|
I have found wealth for myself;
|
|
In all my labors
|
|
They shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.'
|
|
|
|
9. "But I am the Lord your God,
|
|
Ever since the land of Egypt;
|
|
I will again make you dwell in tents,
|
|
As in the days of the appointed feast.
|
|
|
|
10. I have also spoken by the prophets,
|
|
And have multiplied visions;
|
|
I have given symbols through the witness of the prophets."
|
|
|
|
11. Though Gilead has idols--
|
|
Surely they are vanity--
|
|
Though they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal,
|
|
Indeed their altars shall be heaps in the furrows of the field.
|
|
|
|
12. Jacob fled to the country of Syria;
|
|
Israel served for a spouse,
|
|
And for a wife he tended sheep.
|
|
|
|
13. By a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt,
|
|
And by a prophet he was preserved.
|
|
|
|
14. Ephraim provoked Him to anger most bitterly;
|
|
Therefore his Lord will leave the guilt of his bloodshed upon him,
|
|
And return his reproach upon him.
